is there a 36w schematic with a 800 style pre?

Post by lovedat800 »

I built a 18 long ago, but it ended up being underpowered for my purpose. Plus i wanted a more preamp gain oriented amp like a JCM800. So i joined here to see if there was either a 4 tube config with a pre like that (jcm amount of pregain and similar tone) or better yet a EL34 50 watt version with the same sort of pre. I tried to go to the 45watt link but it's not working, so i'm unsure if there is a EL34 version. But the main thing is more wattage, be it a 4 tube EL84 or 2 tube 50 watt EL34 design, as long as the pre is as i described. Thanks.

Edit: I should mention i meant a master volume JCM circuit, not the non-master. That would be the early one w/o diodes obviously. (tho i must confess to liking the early diode versions with the 6550's too !)

There's a 2204 based 18watt schematic in the downloads section. You could just take that preamp and graft it onto the power section of the 36Watt.

Is the 2204 a master voulme pre? EDIT: Ahh, ok....looked at the schematic and see it is.

By the way, anyone know what 45watt.com is about? I assume it's not for EL34 circuits but for bluesbreaker style, no? How about SE and PE? I'd just sign up and see for myself, but they seem related to here, and it was so hard to sign up here it took me months of trying before i was able to create an account. So are any of them related to 50 watt EL34 marshall type circuits?

PPWatt.com is devoted to those kinds of amps.
